Coming to terms with reality

Coming to terms with reality

Hi Readers, i am suffering from "mental health issues" and it is an ongoing, daily battle. I am pretty much constantly wrestling with the thoughts going on in my mind. And my psychical life seems too be suffering for it. (There is a huge difference between physical and mental ) something is definitely not right! So each day I'm waking up and going about my routine. And over the last few days, weeks and months. I have been noticing changes in my mentality toward myself, others and life. And some questions such as, what is my life about? And what should my objectives be? Have arisen... of course like we all are, I'm subject too making decisions... and there has been the same options in front of me time and time again for months on end. And it becomes rather draining and mundane. And i feel myself going around in circles like something simple just ain't connecting.

I enjoy writing, art, music. And peace of mind... walking, reading, meditation. Taking care of myself. Socialising. Etcetera. Getting ahead, getting in front. Planning, dreaming and so on. And do my best to look after myself. While accepting that it can only ever be so much.

But there just something not quite right. And I'm suffering for it on a daily basis. And I'm tired and fed up with going through the same stuff everyday. And in all honesty. Alot of my suffering comes from prospective and thought processes.

Does anyone wanna talk with me about some things that might help? In particular dealing with people no matter who they are. Can be very stressful and cause lots of procrastinating about pros and cons. In particularly people who i think about reaching out to for support. Because of dilemmas dramas and social dynamics. And picking up on things that "aint really happening" "gut feelings type of stuff " "intuition" that type of thing. And enjoying time with people is great! I just tend to be overly preoccupied with symptoms to be worried about socialising sometimes "Symptoms which involves others"

@eudemonism @MDT Keeping busy when I can is the key for me. Sometimes I simply do not have the energy and those are the days when I need to rest. Those are often the days when I get down as well. It certainly is a balancing act!

Tomorrow is a new day @eudemonism and I have some things to do so that's gonna keep me occupied. Might take an earlier dose of my meds to get me to sleep sooner too.
Frame of mind is improving. But gonna bring my psych appt forward. Not a praying type.
But yeh sleep and rest are essential.

Yea that's it hey @Zoe7 i get a bit haughty and carried away on my good days; but, i figure I've earned it. And on those days when i get down and need to rest; i have no other choice but to be humble.
Yea, keeping busy is definitely a key... unfortunately meds make it difficult to take on to much... make hay while the sun shines as my friend says 😅

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea @MDT my mood changes from day to day. Some days i feel like a mad hatter. Some days i feel like a low life bum. Some days i feel absolutely great.
I seriously can't explain it... and the same goes for others in my life-their mood is always fluctuating...

That is exactly it @eudemonism - make hay while the sun shines

@Zoe7 sometimes i feel bad when I'm having a great day and my friends aren't... usually my friends on the same depot are all good-for majority of time. But some others are a bit all over the place.

Had a break there for a while @eudemonism - still have a couple of things I need to do tonight but shouldn't take long. Glad it is pay day for you tomorrow.

Imget what you mean about feeling good some days when others aren't but you are allowed to be happy Eude - that does not mean you don't feel for others but often when you are in a 'good' mood it can rub off on others too.
